Antique N.W. Persian Blue Hallway Runner Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This exceptional piece is a classic example of nomadic weaving from Northwest Persia, characterized by its deep, saturated indigo field. The use of rich vegetable dyes ensures the enduring quality of the color, placing it among the finest blue color rugs of the period. The design features a series of interconnected medallions and highly stylized Tree of Life motifs, rendered in a striking array of terracotta, saffron, and cream. This highly stylized, repeating structure is typical of geometric rugs produced by tribal groups in the Caucasus and surrounding Persian regions during the late 19th century. Preserved in remarkable condition, this textile offers a tangible link to the weaving traditions of the Qajar Dynasty era.
